Exactly. Most cloud virtualization providers you just take a snapshot of the virtual disk and provide that when requested and the customer never has a clue that is happened. I’d get contacted by our legal department, told that my boss was only to be told that I was working for them for now and no other details, and then directed on what they needed a copy of and how to send it to them.

If it’s housed in its own case, it’s a power brick.

This is a line lump, the alternative to the wall wart. Both were slang terms, it just sounds like only one of them stuck around.

That’s what gets me. This feels like an attempt to pass responsibility on and deflect away from the fact that the authorities were alerted and involved and did nothing to stop it.
